00:20something else which we all know again as lay people it's not necessarily a bad thing but there
00:24are favorites parents have favorites and maybe even at different points in life one's a favorite
00:29versus another that's the course of the childhood all of the kids are favorites in different areas

01:47where there's still such a preference to have boys over girls there's such a demand for abortions
01:52there are i mean in most countries because i think that when you said that we rank number 50 will
01:56probably shock a lot of people watching it might shock a lot of people of how few um pregnant women

03:53at
03:53you i don't know what they think i think i think i think of a lot of things okay because
03:56you got you
03:57also you know wealth that you have accumulated by your own hard work would lead a lot of people to
04:01say look this guy's got to be a republican i know i know but i'm not i know oh okay
04:08heard about the
04:09stacy dash incident yet have you heard about this no so um obviously for those of you who are
04:14familiar with her you are but obviously she's a she tweeted out i'll read you her tweet vote for
04:19romney the only choice for your feud some people seem to feel that if you're black you have to
04:25vote for the president because he's black these are changing will will african americans vote for
04:31romney probably i guess something like what happened with stacy dash shows that race still is an issue
04:35oh i mean it's still it still matters i mean so he got the white house which is an incredible
04:39achievement but color still matters yeah his race have to root for more people like you who's overcome
04:44what poverty hiv everything that could possibly thrown at you well and here you are you got your
04:50own plane and you're willing to pay more tax on it do i have to pay more taxes yeah i
04:56guess so if he
04:57wins i guess i'll have to all right go president obama because this is the first time i've seen you
05:03smile you are so serious on your show and then at the end i'm gonna take that then as a
05:07mantra no

05:13i'm on air and show this is great thank you good to see you you too in your book you
05:18talk about this
05:19yes someone like you who who i mean someone who honestly you're a genius i mean what can i just
05:25ask
05:26a question you managed in you you had a college degree in symbolic systems see i don't even know what
05:31that
05:31is cognitive science my point is you're really really really really really smart right so can
05:37people who aren't as smart as you i i i think for major companies no and you're saying so be
05:43pragmatic
05:43don't just say well i have this dream yes and assume that it's going to happen to you because it's
05:47not going to happen no you have to so here here's a question to you you were uh worth 1
05:52.7 billion they
05:53say after linkedin so i think the the the the only thing that changes is your palette of tools
05:58in terms of how do you what kinds of impacts and matter of fact what kind of it's microfinance
06:03for the web and and it's like you know donate to the ugandan taxi driver to help him start a
06:08business
06:08and like low knowledge jobs with low evaluation skills and low decision making are going to come
06:14back some will but most aren't we have to retool if you put some you psychologically get around that if
06:19you're one of those people and there are what's there there are a lot i mean our our unemployment level
06:24when you count people who who who don't have the job they want or working part-time or aren't
06:28getting skills is what 16 17 so what what do you say to them that they can do and there's
06:33that there's
06:33technically go out and get this new skill but then there's the psychological side yeah um i think
06:39phil drugs his wife is now as caretaker she can't leave the house for that experience but that's what
06:44can shift people they need to see what's possible we have to show them all the negativity out there
06:49negativity in the news negativity in washington negativity with leadership negativity with the debt
06:52we have to show them all the things we have to show them all the things we have to do
06:53so let's take one
06:54of them trayvon martin yes this is a situation that has galvanized people and motivated people
06:58there's a real opportunity probably to make a real difference in this country i think so too
07:01and then but there's also a lot of negativity a lot of let's put a bounty on that guy's head
07:05and
07:05let's be mad at these people and people start blaming and being angry how do we not let this devolve
07:10into an issue that just divides the races well we can't think that can be made progress so in this
07:18uh election
07:19yes you you've advised a whole lot of very famous public figures over the years
07:24to the candidates could benefit the most from a little bit of your help a little bit of your passion
07:30energy enthusiasm i mean i can think of some of them that might need a little help well i actually
07:35uh
07:36make uh what about uh rick rinney clearly he he's he almost um uh we uh we have a couple
07:43friends out
